For those looking for an interesting internship

Summer/Fall Disney Internship applications are still open! ✨ Here are my tips for applying from my intern experience at Walt Disney Imagineering, Disney Live Entertainment over the last 9 months: 💡In one of the toughest job markets, what sets you apart from other applicants? For me, my interview was tough but I knew I was tougher. An executive on the panel straight up asked me, “What can you add to the team? What do we get out of it?” In the moment, I had to pivot and showcase my skills in a matter of seconds. Needless to say, it helped me land my internship! 🔐 Share your passion and love for the brand/company, but also showcase that you are able to keep your work confidential. As interns, we have access to so many cool things! I have seen A LOT during my time at The Walt Disney Company, so it’s important that you are able to protect the magic and keep your work to yourself outside of the internship. I suggest sharing an example of a time where you had to do this. 😆 Be yourself, but still remain professional and mindful. From my experience in talent research and other pipelines, hiring managers do keep in mind if you are able to fit into the team and get along with other people in order to get work done efficiently and smoothly. Don’t fake it, but definitely showchase your authentic self! Do you have any tips? Did this help? 🪄 Feel free to comment or share this post with anyone you think could benefit! Don't forget to apply for internships here: https://lnkd.in/gPJHUZBi] Of course, this post does not accurately reflect the entire company and is only about my own experience. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I'll do my best to see what I can do and pay my success forward to future magic makers! ✨😊

For the students in my network who are still looking for a summer internship: ⭐There is no bad opportunity. ⭐ Looking back at my own career journey, I'm incredibly grateful for the internships I took, even when I wasn't sure if they were the right fit. I applied to numerous internships at what everyone considered "top" companies, but never landed them. Or, even an interview, if I'm being honest! Instead, I embraced what came my way and approached each opportunity with gratitude. My first internship was in social media and public relations for a local museum. I didn't know much about either field, but I left feeling proud of what I had learned. This experience was something I would later reference in the interviews that got me my "dream" internships at Disney! My second internship was a game day intern for a minor league baseball team. While I would never say I'm passionate about baseball, I learned about sports operations and had a really fun summer. The community I had in this internship was essential during that phase of my life. My third internship was the Disney College Program. Those six months taught me more about networking and potential career paths than my entire time in school up to that point. It opened doors to two more internships with Disney in management and marketing before I even graduated. Mindset is everything, and you never know what incredible experiences you might be missing out on if you don't embrace the opportunities that come your way. Keep an open mind, and remember that every experience, no matter how unexpected, can be a stepping stone to something great. #internships #careers #mindset #students

For our Business and Sport Management majors...

refLEXtion: Internships at Sam's Club Over 25 years ago, I lived off of Kellogg Company’s Corn Pops. Truly emulating the mantra, “Gotta Have My Pops,” I applied for an internship at Kellogg’s, while feasting off of cereal at the University of Michigan. I envisioned a world where I quite literally popped through the “O” in “pOp’s”. While I didn’t receive an internship at Kellogg Company, my passion for brands + writing did make its’ way to Hearst Magazines. And, in the late ‘90’s, I accepted an internship as a Merchandise Editorial Intern at Marie Claire Magazine. As a Merchandise Editorial Intern, I learned how accessories accompany apparel. However, amidst this world of shoes, jewels, and belts; I continued to wonder where the “Pops” exist. How did advertising get into the magazine? Thankfully, I embarked on a relationship with Amanda Ross who explained the world of publishing to me. I learned about full bleed printing, the 2nd-4th cover, frequency, circulation and more. And thus, I pivoted from editorial to publishing because…I gotta have my Pops. Internships can help you learn about an industry. Internships can help you learn about yourself. Internships can lead to exciting career opportunities. So, for any college student who wants to chart a new path for themselves; please consider Sam’s Club Member Access Platform (MAP).
